Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

This album is full of quality and the musicianship on display is simply amazing. There is so much beauty in this album even though it is dark and atmospheric at the same time. To start with there is the instrumentation which is just a marvel to listen to. From the piano to the guitar to the violins to the percussion it is just phenomenal. They do a fantastic job at creating emotion just through their performances with each instrument being easy to connect to as they are each given their individual moment to shine. This is highlighted on The Piano Song which might be one of the weaker tracks on here but it puts so much emotion behind the piano playing that it is still a brilliant cut. The vocals are fantastic as well and the male and female vocal match together so perfectly. They are similar but unique at the same time and creates a great dynamic throughout the record. There is no song on here that should be cut and I think there is no filler content either. Every song shines and has something to enjoy whether its the intelligent lyrics or the genius and beautiful instrumentation or this atmosphere they create which is such a joy to be involved in. Overall, this record is dark and tragic, but it is also filled with beauty and when you pair that with the quality they possess it leads to a record as incredible as this is.
Sadness and heartbreak transformed into music.

What a beautiful discovery!!!!!
Great sad and slow piece. The piano and strings on this album are top notch. Farewell to All These Rotten Teeth and Low Budget Slow Motion Soundtrack Song for the Leaving Scene are amazing songs that definitely deserve a listen.

Hell of a listen. Glad I came across this one. Will definitely be coming back for multiple listens but the first impression is very strong here. Only way I can think to describe it at this point is very surreal; it's like Belle and Sebastian in super slow motion.

You're welcome, Precedent. Just glad you appreciated that, it took me a few listens to. With that, disregard my previous comment, there are so many peaks that make up the album and make it so extra-special.
Incredible album! This is beautiful, thank you Suede for the recommendation!

Such a tragically beautiful album; it's underrated on this site and generally everywhere.
Nice to see that a few of the members went on to pursue another musical project (Band of Horses) which then gained decent recognition, so that's an upside.
It's a little too slow and a little too sad though, don't take that badly, but it just has no peaks for me, and I like peaks in an album.
